- W4320476268 abstract "Extract I am humbled by oxford university press (OUP)'s decision to re-issue The Construction of Communalism in Colonial North India as an Oxford India Perennial on the occasion of OUP India’s centenary. The selection speaks as much to the importance of the theme as to this particular articulation of it. For the problem of ‘communalism’—or the matter of relations and conflict between a proclaimed religious majority (Hindus) and the so-called religious minorities (Muslims, Sikhs, Christians)—was early on framed as the national question in India, and continues to a large extent to be considered in this way to the present day. The concept of communalism came to be clearly formulated in the 1910s and 1920s as referring to a divisive, elemental politics, deriving from the religious sentiments of ‘the masses’, and exploited (in the view of leading Indian nationalists) for narrow, and usually upper class, political gain. From the 1920s especially, as I noted in the last chapter of the book, communalism was defined in opposition to what was increasingly conceived of as ‘real’ nationalism. Arising out of a mass desire for economic advancement and freedom from exploitation, nationalism was all that was forward-looking, progressive, and modern. Communalism was its Other: backward-looking, reactionary and ‘medieval’. Much of this terrain had been fairly methodically examined and debated in the decades before my book appeared in 1990." @default.
